I watched a very interesting documentary on BBC2 last night about the development of the Boeing 747 instigated by PanAm. Boeing agreed to design this new plane and deliver 25 of them in 28 months! On top of that, the bigwigs at Boeing diverted funds away from the project because they were trying to develop a supersonic aircraft to compete with Concorde.
Really interesting documentary on the design, the barriers they had, along with some of the original PanAm CC who flew the very first 747.
Did anyone else catch the programme? Top show
